  1. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I CLEPed sociology and anthropology. I bought a used textbook online for very cheap, read through it, took some practice tests and passed the CLEPs with high...

  2. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just called the admissions office.... "No, I can't give you any information on the status of your application. We have a lot of applications to review. The fact that some people were accepted...

  3. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wonder what that means... Are they not interested in me, or is it just that it took them so long to record everything in my admissions

  4. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My admissions checklist is updated! They have all my information except for bachelor's degree verification (waiting for school to send that) and the official transcript for my final

  5. Sucker punched. First time I was ever punched by a man.

    JeanettePNP replied to wonderbee's topic in Psychiatric

    I am so sorry that you went through this and that no one came to your defense. That should not

  6. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What does "diversity" mean? If you're white they won't accept you? Downstate STILL has not entered my NET scores or CLEP scores into the system even though I made sure they were in before deadline, so...

  7. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    JeanettePNP replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It takes a lot to become a nurse, especially if you make the decision as an adult when you already have a family. So far it's taken me three years of jumping through hoops and red tape just to...

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess you could do that. But it won't necessarily make them give you a decision any

  9. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My reasons for being interested in the program are: publicly funded, accelerated BSN, and in a very convenient location for me (less than 2 miles from home). I worked my %@%^$ off for 3 years to meet...

  10. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why should that be something you need to stress, if your primary interest is to go to school with high

  11. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually the reason it gets so many applicants is that it's one of the few public accelerated BSN programs in NYC. Not everyone wants to go thousands of dollars into debt for their BSN. The fact that...

  12. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do people think this is a good program again? So far I'm not very

  13. Is cleanliness cultural?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    This thread is a spinoff of the "patient won't shower" thread. I think within certain limits we need to be tolerant of cultural differences in hygiene practices (say, once a day vs. once a week),...

  14. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say that you probably don't need to do anything special to prepare for the NET, especially if you've taken the GRE. The math on the GRE is simple arithmetic--no word problems, no algebra or...

  15. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I called the school today and it sounds like they REALLY don't have their act together. "Oh, you took the NET already? Well it's not showing anything in our system. We're very backed up and haven't...

  16. Is cleanliness cultural?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was the dairy smell rather than beef that Asians find

  17. Is cleanliness cultural?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It's the hair under the armpits that traps odor, rather than the lack of

  18. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I got a letter from SUNY-Downstate today. My heart was pounding and I opened it with sweaty palms... In it was a list of things missing from my application, namely NET results, CLEP scores and...

  19. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not understand what their intention is by extending the admission deadline. Here they're telling us how competitive the program is, they get zillions of applicants and can only choose like 20%....

  20. Is cleanliness cultural?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm asking whether lack of hygiene is something to be tolerant of on the basis of "cultural

  21. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really. And here we knocked ourselves out to complete all the requirements and the paperwork and get everything in on time, and some lazy #%@# will get accepted ahead of

  22. Hello Is This Ture on Get you life in order before nursing school?

    JeanettePNP replied to RN_TOBE's topic in General Students

    And what if your kids do get sick? How understanding and accepting are they of family emergencies? This is actually the part that I'm dreading most--not having a flexible schedule and not being able...

  23. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nothing yet... I'm not really expecting an answer right away; however, I hope they don't contact me in May when class starts in June, because I need time to work out my schedule and make childcare...

  24. 1st Baby Born Cancer Free

    JeanettePNP replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    The headline is misleading. This baby is not "cancer-proof." She was genetically manipulated to be born without the breast cancer gene, but could develop some other cancer down the line, and, for that...

  25. stimulating a vented patient

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    How would you educate family members of an elderly vented patient for what they can do to stimulate him or help him be comfortable? Let's assume that the patient is fully alert and aware, and that his...
